The terrain of Jiyuan is two mountains sandwiched by a river, with the terrain high in the west and low in the east. In ancient times, the city site was located on the treasure land of Ershui Gongchuan, with three main gates in the south, north and west. At that time, people believed that if the door was opened due to the east, the feng shui would flow downwards and the pulse energy would not gather, so they opened the east door to the north and crossed the river to circumambulate it.

"Spring View on Stone Bridge" has always been one of the nine scenic spots in Jiyuan.

It is the ** Yellow River It is the only island in the world that can be settled by humans. It is said that this eight-mile long beach is the sacred soil washed down from Gun Mountain by Yu Kai. Because it can grow with the water, it has not been flooded for thousands of years.

In fact, this is a masterpiece of nature. Both sides of the West Bank are curved in a ring. When there is a flood, the strong centripetal force generated by the curved water will roll the sediment towards the center of the river. This is the real reason why the West Bank of the Yellow River can be formed and continue to grow. .

Nine Scenes of Jiyuan

A Stone Bridge for Spring View

The stone bridge is also called the Spring View Bridge. Because it is outside the east gate of Jiyuan City, it is also called the East Gate. bridge. Climbing the bridge, you can see clear water flowing eastward, green mountains in spring, purple swallows carrying mud, orioles weaving willows, green fields, red peach and white plums...the scenery is full of spring scenery, which is so beautiful. The ancients once wrote a poem: In the hope that spring will arrive early, I will take a leisurely walk and look at the Spring Bridge. As time goes by, the willow trees turn golden, and the breeze warms the blue sky. The mountain light is uniform and green, and the birds are singing and calling. The four fields are busy and the east is stupefied, and Pingchou is far away.

2 Pangu Qingyan

Pangu is located in the Taihang Sun in the north of Jiyuan. Han Yu, a writer of the Tang Dynasty, once wrote the "Preface to Sending Li Yuan Back to Pangu" and is famous for it. This valley is surrounded by two mountains, long and deep, secluded and quiet. Clear smoke often appears at the bottom of the valley, lingering among the forested peaks, fluttering in the wind like a trail. The ancients once wrote a poem: It is neither cloud nor fog that arises from the bottom of the valley, and the density and lightness disappear for no reason. The broken part of the green mountain is a caged picture, and it is dragged out by Bai Lian to reflect the plainness. Two cranes burst into the sky for dawn, and a pear breaks through the rain and clears up. If you want to follow Li Yuan and return to deep seclusion, there will be no peace in the world.

Three Jidu Morning Glow

Jidu Temple, located in the north of Jiyuan City, was founded during the Kaihuang period of the Sui Dynasty and has been repaired in many dynasties. The temple occupies an area of ​​​​100 acres, surrounded by many springs and heavy moisture. In the morning, there is a thick fog. When the sunlight is refracted, the fog is like red clouds, colorful. The ancients once wrote a poem that said: Linghong lineage and Tiantong appear in glory in the blue sky. Bright clouds bloom in the sky, and canopies cover the palace to protect the crystal. The shadow of the phantom dragon is hidden in the scroll, and the misty and light breeze follows the girl's wind. It's neither fog nor smoke, it's slightly auspicious, and the air is clear and lush.

Four Queen Mother Fairy Lantern

The Queen Mother Cave is located in the upper reaches of Xiaoyou River in Wangwu Mountain, leaning against Wudou Peak in the north and looking at Laoyeding in the south. It has been a fairy cave since ancient times, and it is deep and unpredictable. In the middle of the night, phosphorus fires often appear, gathering or dispersing, visible on and off, drifting in the wind, like fairy lanterns. The ancients once wrote a poem that said: Light comes to the sky to illuminate the sky, and in the middle of the night, they travel across the sky. It should be that the Yaotai welcomes Dharma, so the jade girl is taught to hold the fairy lantern.

Five Night Rain at West Lake

West Lake is not a lake, but a village located in the east of Jiyuan City. I went to Xihu Village at night and heard the pattering of rain outside the window. When I opened the door to look at it, I saw a starry sky and moonlight all over the ground. This is because there are thickets of reeds around the village. The wind blows through the reeds at night, making a sound like falling rain. The ancients once wrote a poem: There are many beautiful places in Jishui, so why does the West Lake open by itself? Listen to the sprinkling of bamboo on a clear night, and welcome the plum blossoms with a drizzle. The refreshing air is quiet in the forest, and the cold sound comes from the water. It's still early in the morning, and the smoke is full of moss.

Six Qinkou Autumn Wind

Jiyuan has beautiful mountains and rivers. The best scenery is in Wulongkou. Wulongkou is the outlet of the Qin River originating from the Taihang Mountains, so it is also called Qinkou. There are mountains and water here. The mountains stand like swords and the water moves like dragons and snakes. The mountains and rivers reflect each other and the scenery changes with each step. Especially in summer, the breeze is so cool that people walking there feel like bathing in the autumn breeze. The ancients once wrote a poem: There is a cold current on both sides of the clouds, and the valley is high and the sky is high and quiet. The green and plain clothes are moving, and the coldness invades the muscles and bones, and the water is floating.

When he dug canals, he praised Lu Houji, and when he wrote poems, he still felt worried about Chu Ke. After blowing away all the six dusts, there is no need to travel in late autumn.

Seven Lingshan shines at night

Lingshan is located northwest of Jiyuan City, with flat land and dangerous peaks, standing alone in the countryside. As the sun sets in the west, thousands of afterglows diffuse from the western sky and shine on the Lingshan Mountain, as if coating the Lingshan Mountain with a layer of color, making it gorgeous and brilliant. The ancients once wrote a poem saying: A peak with snails and buns covers the horizon, while the golden and green pearls stand against the sun. Purple air condenses in the misty hills, and clear smoke scatters in the vertical and horizontal wells. The wild trees return to the clouds with the crow noise, and the cranes return to the setting sun. As expected, it is so magical that the fishing village does not envy Chuyunbian.

Eight Longtan Night Moon

There is a small Beihai in Jidu Temple, which is the east source of Jishui. There is a Longtan two miles to the west, which is the west source of Jishui. There is Yanqing Temple, also known as Longtan Temple, on the north bank of Longtan. There is a stupa in the temple that towers high in the sky. The scenery here is beautiful, with deep deep pools, splashing blue water, and Yancun Water Temple, which is suspected to be from the south of the Yangtze River. On an autumn night, the bright moon is in the sky, reflecting in the water together with the weeping willows by the bridge and the shadows of ancient temples and towers, making it poetic, picturesque, elegant and quiet. The ancients once wrote a poem: I love dragons and mist the most, so they are colorful. On a moonlit night in the pond, the jade mirror in the sky suddenly rises and falls. The hustle and bustle is far away, but the clear openness can still be compared with the eyes.

Reflections of the Nine Temples of Heaven

Jiyuan is surrounded by mountains on three sides. Its northwest peaks and beautiful forest ravines. The Temple of Heaven is the towering and beautiful mountain that stands alone among the mountains. At dawn, when people get up early, they can see on the open plain in the east of Jiyuan, suddenly there are many shadows of mountains, towering and towering, their shapes are like the Temple of Heaven moving eastward. The rising sun rises in the east and passes away leisurely. The ancients once wrote a poem: The altar is named Xuanyuan, and the blue clouds are towering. The essence condenses the majestic energy and shines astronomically. The plains are rugged and the peaks are blurry. This is a sign of good harvest.
